angel risk actresses
Vivien Leigh was a phenomenal actress, a very complicated woman, living on the edge of mental problems, haunted by demons and angels. And though I've never thought of myself like Marilyn Monroe, I was inspired by the tremendous risk she took - of being vulnerable.
love-life hobbies i-love-my-friends
I love my friends. I love my love-life. I love my hobbies. I love eating.
thinking looks way
I just think that I'll never have plastic surgery if I'm not in front of the camera. If you make your living selling this thing, which is the way you look, then maybe you do it. But trust me, the minute I'm directing or producing and not starring, I would never even think of it.
I'm voraciously looking to express myself in my work. I love my work.
singers directors riders
When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.
men people cry
It's a very difficult thing for people to accept, seeing women act out anger on the screen. We're more accustomed to seeing men expressing rage and women crying.
skins strange sensitive
I have this very strange sensitive skin. If I put anything on it but this one product, it erupts into a rash.
thinking faces
I think there's a knowingness in my face.
healing thinking illumination
I don't see it as a form of healing, because if you have wounds that are bleeding I don't think acting will ever get them to stop. But I find acting is a form of illumination.
careers acting changed
Everything I thought about acting and having a movie career has changed from what I thought when I started.
crazy thinking years
I think I'm well on the way of overcoming a very big hurdle that's been in my way for several years. Which is trying to find a way to not let the insecurity of my profession get the better of me and make me crazy. I'm trying to find a way to maintain my own personal balance in the midst of everything.
hate knives kind
I hate plastic surgery. I have a horror of any kind of knife. I don't like it.
opposites people balance
There are a lot of things that I love, but if you're just completely invested in those things, their opposite can kick you over... So the trick is finding out how to maintain your balance when you're in situations with the people who make you happy and when you're not.
witty years ideas
I was so amazingly witty when I had the No. 1 movie, you have no idea. People laughed at every single one of my jokes. Then when I hadn't had a hit for three or four years, some of these same people pretended they didn't see me when I walked in the room.
